Emerson Korea will showcase industrial automation technologies designed to improve cooling efficiency and prevent equipment failures in artificial intelligence data centers.
Emerson Korea announced on November 2 that it would participate in Data Center Korea 2026 at the aT Center in Yangjae, Seoul, and unveil automation solutions supporting cooling and utility equipment, from control and condition diagnostics to precision measurement.
As the expansion of AI and high-performance computing increases data center electricity consumption and cooling demand, reliable operation of the associated equipment is becoming increasingly important. Cooling system abnormalities, in particular, can directly affect server operations, requiring real-time condition monitoring and preventive maintenance systems.
At the event, Emerson Korea will introduce ways to improve data center operating efficiency and reliability by connecting equipment protection, control, diagnostics and measurement technologies.
Valve solutions that manage flow and pressure are applied to cooling and utility systems. Keystone butterfly valves regulate fluid flow, while Kunkle pressure relief valves help prevent equipment damage caused by excessive pressure.
The company will also showcase precision measurement technologies for monitoring piping conditions. Nonintrusive measurement technologies from Rosemount X-well and FLEXIM can measure temperature and flow without penetrating pipes. Permasense continuously tracks changes in pipe condition caused by corrosion and erosion, providing data needed to determine maintenance timing.
The company will also introduce an automation platform for integrated management of equipment operating data. It analyzes information collected from rotating equipment and field instruments in real time to detect abnormalities early and support predictive maintenance that identifies potential failures in advance.

Control systems and human-machine interfaces, or HMIs, allow operators to view operating information for power and utility systems in one place. This helps managers obtain a comprehensive understanding of equipment conditions and respond when abnormalities occur.
An Emerson Korea representative said, “Data centers need an integrated operating system that delivers equipment reliability, operational continuity and energy efficiency together. Through automation solutions that connect control, diagnostic and measurement data, we will help customers respond proactively to signs of abnormalities and achieve a stable and efficient operating environment.”
